Re: Daytime running lights problem

I have a canadian model and had the same thing.
The problem is that one of the solderings on your daylight
print has a crack.
take out the daylight unit and than the print.
Use a magnifiing glas to find it and resolder it
good luck

Hey Guys...It Worked!!

I was able to take out the relay unit and found that the print board soldering had cracks in two different places where the relays were mounted, resoldered it and now its working great.
Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated
